Justin Bieber kicked off his European promo tour Wednesday and, almost immediately, a state of emergency was threatened in Norway.

After it was announced that the god among men gods would be performing a free four-song show outside of the Oslo Opera House Wednesday evening, 15,000 of his fans overran the city, crippling its mobile network and rendering Oslo a Bieber Fever quarantine zone.

Billboard notes that a Norwegian police officer said 15 girls fainted at one point — in the original Norwegian article, it sounds like the faintings happened almost simultaneously. Authorities had to cut open a guardrail after a girl's foot became lodged in it. Everyone was standing so close to everyone. No one was listening to the police.
